    Primary Outcome Measures

    Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Rating Scale - IV (ADHD RS-IV) Preschool-Home Version
    Change from Baseline to end of double-blind treatment in the total score of the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Rating Scale - IV (ADHD RS-IV) Preschool-Home Version

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Safety-incidence of treatment emergent adverse events
    incidence of treatment emergent adverse events
    Change from Baseline in Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S) score
    The CGI-S is a one-item scale for the clinician to assess their impression of the severity of a subject's current state of illness relative to clinician's past experience with patients who have the same diagnosis. A subject's severity of mental illness is assessed considering a clinician's total clinical experience using a scale from 1 to 7 defined as: 1=normal, not at all ill; 2=borderline mentally ill; 3=mildly ill; 4=moderately ill; 5=markedly ill; 6=severely ill; or 7=extremely ill.
    Change from Baseline in Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) Scale Score
    The CGI-I is a one-item scale to compare the subject's current condition to the condition at the Baseline (Day -1) visit using a scale from 1 to 7 defined as: 1=very much improved since the initiation of treatment; 2=much improved; 3=minimally improved; 4=no change from baseline (the initiation of treatment); 5=minimally worse; 6= much worse; 7=very much worse since the initiation of treatment.
    ADHD RS-IV Preschool-Home Version Total score
    The ADHD RS-IV Preschool Version is an 18-item scale corresponding to the 18 items in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision criteria that is divided into 2 subscales: hyperactivity/impulsivity and inattentiveness. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 = never/rarely to 3 = very often.
    ADHD RS-IV Preschool-Home Version hyperactivity and inattention subscales scores
